This reads like a headline from Plague Inc.

Looks like the front fell off.

It doesn’t look like anything to me.

“America is the greatest democracy in the world, and I believe in those values that we share. I have faith in the American system of justice,” Öztürk said Saturday at a news conference at the airport.

That’s wild considering she was abducted in broad daylight and spent 6 weeks unjustly detained.

EDIT: She also had great luck that the video of her arrest went viral. I don’t think she would be free without it and the group of supporters that formed afterwards. It’s easy then to have faith in the american justice system, but it’s naive to think that other low profile cases will be treated equally.

Shit’s fucked.

“White House Faith Office”, that sounds like someone is pushing the “Faith” branch of their current Frostpunk playthrough a bit too far. Next up are the “Faith keepers”. Ugh.

I mean, calling out Musks hypocrisy is not a bad thing per se, but is it really news?

At the end of the day a lot of people choose to remain on a platform that got bought by an gigantic asshole, who can now do whatever he wants with it. That’s how it works and being upset about it just shows that many users are either naive or delusional. Twitter can’t be saved, there’s nothing left.

Combined with the fact that most Lemmy users probably know about this and already chose alternative platforms a long time ago, articles like these rarely cause more than a shrug, at least for me.

But hey, if it get’s a few more people off of twitter (especially like large institutions as you mentioned), I won’t complain. As time passes I just tend to think that everyone who still stays on Twitter maybe belongs there.

Good.

I’ve recently listened to a podcast with the german astronaut Matthias Maurer where he discusses this question - What exactly makes you an astronaut?

He stated that there are several definitions, mostly based around altitude but if you want the European Space Agency to call you an astronaut you also have to fly around the earth in space at least once. So by ESA definition, Katy Perry would not be an astronaut.

There’s cynical sarcasm and there’s “I guess Hitler was right then ¯_(ツ)_/¯”. I’d say the latter is just fucked up.

Are you even listening to yourself?! A genocide is never “correct and justified”, which is the whole point of this post. Your comment makes me sick.

Dude no shit I’m voting democrat

Bold of him to assume that he will be voting again.

In all of this mess, seeing people like your good friend suffer from the consequences of their own actions, maybe even for the first time, makes me very happy. I’m sorry for the rest of you, but the leopards can eat every single Trump voter for all I care.

I don’t know anything about Android AOSP, so I found this clarification important:

This does not mean that Google is making Android a closed-source platform, but rather that the open-source aspect will only be released when a new branch is released to AOSP with those changes, including when new full versions or maintenance releases are finished.

Sadly our car industry slept way too long on electric vehicles and instead doubled down on combustion engines, even by fraudulent practices (e.g. Dieselgate).

Teslas were by far the best EVs for a long time. Nowadays, not so much.

I’m all for removal of the root cause.

We will have more salespeople next year because we really need to explain to people exactly the value that we can achieve with AI. So, we will probably add another 1,000 to 2,000 salespeople in the short term.

Well, good luck!

I can’t wait for the AI bubble to burst. It’s going to be hilarious to see these kinds of CEOs falling flat on their faces. Unfortunately, it will not be the CEOs who will suffer the most from the consequences.

You can’t make this shit up.
